Thanks for all the info (and patience), Jordan!
Last question (really! :-): so, as I asked before, will it be a simple
task to do a source compile "upgrade" from 2.1.0-release to stable?
My NetBSD release to current strategy was usually: build new config,
build new kernel, reboot, install new includes, build new make,
install new make rules, build new libraries and install, make and
install the rest of the world. Is this underkill, just right, or
overkill for what I want to do? :-)
